Benefits of offering a Body and Ergonomic Assessments with a trained professional to your remote employees:
One hour can change an employees life by reducing pain points, improving their at home workspace, and feel included by your company all while working remotely.
Many companies follow an ANSI-HFS standard when designing and developing their workspace and computer workstations. Majority of the furnishing comes from ergonomic furniture and accessories suppliers.
No one intended for employees to suddenly work from home so most residential settings were not set up for full time desk work. Most don’t have the space to accommodate ergonomic office furniture or have the money to invest into it.
Remote employee wellness is extremely important for a company which is why we offer Ergonomic Body Assessments.
A Biomechanical Assessment identifies whether or not the employees muscles, joints and nerves are working together in a proficient manner to ensure no injury or pain occurs. There are a few ways to tell if an employee’s biomechanics need a check up. Most commonly are complaints about lower back, heel, hip, or nerve pain. These pain points can be caused by a sudden change in posture, work environment, or ergonomics.
A great example would be sitting at a desk. A majority of tech company employees are sedentary jobs. Creating a proper work environment can help your employee’s biomechanics function properly without pain. Working at a desk can cause other pain points like wrist, neck, and headaches so a body assessment is an important evaluation to do since it shows how the muscles and joints function while at work and how to avoid pain and other health issues.
Sedentary jobs involve light physical activity meaning technology employees are sitting at a desk for long periods of time. When a new setup is introduced even if it’s more ergonomic, it is still new for the body and may need help adjusting. A Biomechanical Assessment will evaluate the new body’s composition with the new setup so your employee isn’t developing any incorrect postures. Building a proper pathway to pain-free sedentary employees.
